I provide people of all backgrounds with a grounded, nonjudgmental space to be genuine, slow down, and look honestly at who they are and how they arrived here. Therapy with me is not about fixing who you are—it’s about understanding yourself deeply enough to decide where growth is needed and what no longer fits your life today. As a licensed therapist in Louisiana and Texas, with over two decades of experience, I actively challenge clients in thoughtful, respectful ways to increase psychological flexibility. This includes learning how to reframe and reconstruct long-held viewpoints, examine patterns shaped by life history, and shift perspectives that may once have been protective but are no longer serving you. Your past matters—not as something to stay stuck in, but as a guide for recognizing what you are ready to keep, what needs to change, and what belongs in the archive rather than your present lifestyle. I believe meaningful change requires honest self-reflection and full acceptance of who you have been, without shame or avoidance. From that grounded place, we can identify your current stage of change, clarify what growth looks like for you now, and move intentionally toward it—whether that involves radical acceptance, empowered decision-making, or actively choosing a new direction. I work best with adults in their mid-twenties and older who are ready to engage thoughtfully in the therapeutic process. My clinical strengths include relationship dynamics, empowerment, identity development, perspective-shifting, and helping clients navigate periods of transition, breakthrough, or recalibration with clarity and purpose.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or uncertain about how to move forward. Reaching out for support can feel difficult, but it is also a courageous first step toward healing and growth. I earned my Doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision from St. Mary’s University in San Antonio and my Master’s degree in Counseling from The University of Texas at San Antonio. I bring more than 18 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC).

I have also held national leadership roles, collaborated with professionals in international corporate settings, and served as a Peace Corps (PC) volunteer in both Malawi and Mexico. These experiences have deepened my appreciation for diverse cultures, resilience, and the power of human connection. Outside of counseling, I enjoy hiking, biking, fencing, and studying literature and poetry. My training as a competitive fencer, including preparation for the 1996 Olympic Games, continues to shape my values of discipline, perseverance, and lifelong growth.

I'm psychologist who understands people where they're at and makes therapy a refuge from the storm where clients can rest, heal, and grow as they need to. I've been doing this a long time, and it's always been my dream to help people through their various challenges. My greatest intangible assets are my creativity and my sense of compassion. Also, my ability to encourage others and my confidence that they can completely overcome their struggles comes from my deeply held and long-developed Christian faith. At the beginning of my career, my primary interest was assisting teenagers overcome all the trouble poured into their lives that they had no control over. My expertise expanded over time to include helping adults, young children, families, and groups with just about every kind of difficulty. Areas that I've had tremendous experience in include anxiety, depression, trauma, life adjustments, family relationships, and issues around developing friendships and loneliness. In short, I hope to see you and encourage you soon!

Find a therapist near you in Kerens, Texas

Finding a therapist near you in Kerens, Texas starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Texas is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Texas, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Texas, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Texas

Online therapy and in-person therapy both connect you with a licensed professional, and the main difference is how you meet. In Texas, online therapy through BetterHelp lets you have sessions by phone, video, or in-app messaging, so you can meet from home or on a schedule that fits your life. In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows. Online therapy may be more accessible for people with busy schedules, limited transportation, or a preference for a more discreet setting. Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.

Finding a therapist that accepts insurance in Texas

BetterHelp accepts insurance through many major insurance plans. Insurance availability and coverage may vary by state, plan, provider network, and therapist availability, and deductible status. Eligible members' average copay is $23 per session.

If you prefer to pay without insurance, BetterHelp subscriptions range from $70 to $100 per week, billed as an alternative way to access the same care, and you can use HSA and FSA funds toward the cost. For a full breakdown of how BetterHelp works with insurance plans, see BetterHelp insurance coverage.
